  A Q&D way to do this is add a column called Try. Write a quick loop to
populate the try column with the try value restarting after each Applicant
ID resets. Be sure and order the data by CallTime first. The resulting
table should have the data as shown below.

AppID CallTime    Result      Try
1     1/5/2005    no sale     1
1     1/15/2005   no sale     2
1     1/25/2005   sale  3
1     1/26/2005   no sale     4
12    1/5/2005    no sale     1
12    1/15/2005   no sale     2
12    1/16/2005   no sale     3
12    1/25/2005   sale  4
12    1/26/2005   no sale     5

Now your query is SELECT * FROM tblName WHERE Result = "sale";

Good Luck

I was wondering if someone could help me out.  What would be the
best way for me to go about determining the sale number from the
following table:

applicantID    calltime  result
1              1/5/05    no sale
1              1/15/05    no sale
1              1/25/05    sale
1              1/26/05    no sale
12             1/5/05    no sale
12             1/15/05    no sale
12             1/16/05    no sale
12             1/25/05    sale
12             1/26/05    no sale

the resulting query would provide:
applicantID    saleattempt
1              3
12             4

etc.  Ultimately, I am trying to figure out how many attempts needed
to make a sale.

Thank you...
